Bruto Wānaka

Come as you are

Cabin

Come out of the cold and into our sanctuary. Within these walls, we return to the elemental truth of wood, ash, and smoke. Our menu follows the land, yielding seasonal harvests and prime cuts to the mercy of an open woodfire. Find your refuge in the shadows. Take comfort in the flame.

Sofi

Set along the mountain-lined waters of Lake Wānaka, Sofi draws inspiration from the timeless essence of the Mediterranean and its warm, welcoming hospitality. Here, we open our doors as if welcoming you into our own home. From lunch to late in Wānaka, our menus are thoughtfully crafted using locally-sourced produce. 

Francesca

With an ever changing seasonal menu that nods to the rich culinary heritage of Italy, we proudly make each dish our own. Join us for wood-fired pizza, house-made pasta, and a bounty of local Kiwi ingredients served with a distinct Wānaka twist. Local heart, Italian soul, let us fill yours with our new-world Wānaka Italian.

A corner of Bruto Wãnaka for every kind of chaos

Some celebrations demand a dark, moody corner; others require a lakeside terrace and sprawling view. Between Sofi, Francesca, and Cabin, Bruto Wānaka has the perfect space for your next gathering. We’ll handle the heavy-handed hospitality - you just bring your people, leave the polish at the door, and let the night spiral.
